Thank you new readers in Ireland, the Philippines, and Pakistan. Here's a Black History month blast from the past photo. It doesn't seem like two years ago when I featured as guest poet at a local San Diego coffee house. This photo brought back memories. Quite a few poets were in the audience. Activist and writer Gloria Verdieu was in the audience. I hadn't seen her in several weeks although I was aware of some of her community work during 2019.                            Gloria Verdieu, Reg E. Gaines, and me Delores Fisher Since I was recovering from a serious viral illness, that lasted several weeks, Megan Webster and Olga Gutierrez Garcia graciously consented to co-feature with me. It was a uniting of 3 of our 4nth poetry group from the early 2000s. Rev. Kelli Parish Lucas was not there due to a miscommunication on my part. We missed Kelli's presence very much. Rev. Kelli Parish-Lucas, Delores Fisher, Olga Gutierrez-Garcia, Megan Webster As the group
